Hi Richard,

	While I know this is a bit difficult to do when servers are
colocated, and the time the server crashes also enters into the
equation in a very big way but might I suggest you simply log onto
the shell and start watching top a few moments before the server
crashes? I've fixed a number of similar situations here simply by
swaping times that cron runs things on a server. The trick is in
finding out what is bogging the server down. If you are sure it's
the result of the log rotation then simply start moving other cron
jobs to less heavily loaded times. Our experience here is that a few
hours of just watching top very often provides all the clues one
needs to get things back under control.

	Peace be with you,
